Monday (Not So) Random Ten

I have contemplated doing a Monday, or, indeed, a Friday Random Ten many times before, but then music for which you will make fun of me always comes up in my playlist. So consider this a M/FRT in which I might hurriedly skip ahead on some tracks. Trust me, it’s better for all of us this way. Although you must keep in mind my love of musical theatre and dislike of much music made during my lifetime as we do this. Also that it’s Tuesday where I am.

How does one play along? Well, get out your music player of choice and set it to shuffle, then post a list of the, um, first ten songs that come up.

About Chally

Chally is a student by day, a freelance writer by night, a scary, scary feminist all the time, and a voracious reader whenever she has a spare moment. She also blogs at Zero at the Bone. Full bio here.

I’ll play, but I don’t have much music on this computer and most of it is made by people with the last name “Wainwright” (and my iPod isn’t with me at the moment). I had to cheat a little and shuffle twice:

1) Those Poor Bastards – Evil on my Mind
2) Guns and Roses – Live and Let Die (yesssssss)
3) PJ Harvey – England (yessssssssx2)
4) Beach House – Heart of Chambers
5) The Besnard Lakes – Devastation
6) Frida Hyvonen – N.Y.
All of Frida’s music is highly recommended for people interested in female voices/perspectives in current music.
7) Rafter – Only You
I hate this album and don’t know how I got it or why it’s on my playlist.
8) The Fall – Cruiser’s Creek
9) Chad VanGaalen – I Miss You Like I Miss You
10) Wu-Tang Clan – Protect Ya Neck (yessssssssx3)

Bonus thing I’m listening to: Are ya’ll listening to the newest PJ Harvey album “Let England Shake”? It’s her best and most cohesive album in years, and it’s about the simultaneous pastoral and colonial histories present of the English landscape and empire. It’s fucking gorgeous.

AAARrrrrgggh…I’ve been trying to remember Savage Garden for two solid months. I kept telling M there was this poppish, electronicaish group from Australia when I was errr…younger…. He said there was no such thing. HA. I win. Also, thank you.
